Literary Notes.

THE first instalment of the collection OF I'M
published letters of Thackeray, to be pub
lished in Scribner's Magazine. will appear in
the April number. The letters will be pre-
coded by an introduction by Mrs. Brookfield,
to whom most of them were written. They
will be arranged in a simple chronological
order, regardless oftheir relative Importance,
and will be accom- panied by Mrs. Brookfeld's
and by other notes. In the arrangement OF
the letters, AS well as in some additional an
notation, the Editor has had the privilege Of
advice and assistance from Mr.. James Rus
sell Lowell, who kindly consented, with the
cordial approval and thanks OF Mrs. Brook
field, to give this aid in their preparation for
the press. A brief note from Mrs. Richie to
Mrs Brookfield Is also printed with the first
instalment, expressing cordial pleasure In
the knowledge of Mrs. Brookfield's intended
publication.
The letters in the April number are abou
twenty, Of vary length, written from 1917 to
lsi9-several of the Ion er ones from Paris,
Brussels, and elsewhere on the Continent. 1t
would be difficult to speak too strongly of the
interest and value OF the longer letters In
this and the following instalments, and Of
the great Importance OF many to a true I'M
Outstanding Of Thackeray's character. They
are like reading new and more than ever
interesting story from the well known pen
but one with an intimate personal character
which no other could have. Everything in
them Is Intensely characteristic fThackeray;
his humor prevades them all; they abound
in shrewd comments on men and events,
aud contain many glimpi es OF his own opin-
ions and beliefs on subjects of which he sell
dom spoke They are especially notable for
their references to his own work; and to
characters who are now everybody's friends,
and whom he mentions always as though
thew were realities

that il is our sentiments precisely:
at is one of the cardinal principles of DEM

any man in It; and that men must sacrifice
their individual aspiration for the good. har-
mony and unity Of the party. There
is but one course for Democrats to pursue,
and that is to send representative to the
Legislature who shall enter and abide the
caucus's decision OF his party. and on this is
sue every true Democrat can and will unite"

there will be but one issue before the
people-whether the Democratic prin.

be sustained, or whether the custom OF

pie should decide it one way or another.

ONE Of the biggest "deals" on record
has been the talk of railroad circles for
the past week. 1t ia to the effect that
President Garrett is about to sell out a
controlling interest in the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad to syndicate which
shall make it part Of great system ex-
tending from New Orleans to New
York and far into the'West. The bar
gain has not yet been consummated on
account of some hitch in the proceed
ings, but there seems TO be no doubt
that the stock Of the road will soon
change hands and that the management
will pass into the hands of a syndicate.
II is said that President Garrett wishes
to retire from active railroad business.
MANY different opinions have been
expressed in regard to the question,
Who will be our next Senator, but as
yet no satisfactory answer has been
made. Mr.. Lucas expresses himself as
confident Of being seated, but many per.
sons as learned as he say that he will
not unless he is elected by the Legisla-
ture. The situation will be like this !:
The Legislature will In all probability
elect Senator in april. He and Mr..
Lucas VIII go to the United States Sen.
ate-one with the appointment of the
Governor aud the other with the papers
showing MI election by the Legislature.
1t Ia then for the Senate to say which
shall be seated. Any opinion as to
what the Senate will Go must be prema-
ture, and consequently he matter can
not be decided until the Senate takes
action.
